About

About Meraki Hair Atelier.

Meraki Hair Atelier is a quiet, one-chair practice inside Meraki Salon on King Street East in Toronto — where soft, blended colour and thoughtful haircuts are the norm, not the exception.

My chair is for people who want hair that feels modern and beautifully blended, and still feels like themselves every day — not just when they leave the salon.

Meet the artist behind Meraki Atelier

Inspired by your vision. Customised by me.

Hi, I'm Marie — the creative hairstylist behind Meraki Atelier. With 30 years of experience, I've had the privilege of building my craft and my community right here in Toronto's east side — 12 years in Leslieville, and now 3 years in Corktown, where I'm a founding partner at Meraki.

For me, hair isn't just a service — it's a form of connection and self-expression, and I love getting to know my clients and being part of their hair journey, year after year.

I feel lucky to be part of that journey with every person who walks through my door. Come sit with me, and let's create something beautiful together.

What "Meraki" means

"To put a piece of yourself into what you do — your soul, creativity, and love."

Meraki is a Greek word, and it's how I approach hair: with care, intention, and an eye for the little details that make your cut or colour feel like it was always meant for you.

You look like my next client

Come sit with me. Let's talk hair.

Every appointment starts with a proper conversation — coffee in hand, no rush, no pressure. Tell me what you love, what you're tired of, and how much time you actually want to spend on your hair in the morning. We'll build the rest from there.

The studio experience

One chair inside Meraki Salon. Unrushed time.

My chair sits inside Meraki Salon on King Street East, in Corktown — a one-on-one, unrushed space. You'll have my full attention, time to talk through your hair goals, and a stylist who remembers your past colours, formulas, and preferences.

Expect a calm atmosphere, soft music, and hair that gets more beautiful with every visit.
